Acts 27:12-16
New American Standard Bible
14But before very long a violent wind, called Euraquilo, rushed down from the land;
15and when the ship was caught in it and could not head up into the wind, we gave up and let ourselves be driven by the wind.
16Running under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, we were able to get the ship’s boat under control only with difficulty.
King James Version
Chapter 27
12And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. 13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:Christian Standard Bible
13When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they had achieved their purpose. They weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
14But before long, a fierce wind called the "northeaster" rushed down from the island.
15Since the ship was caught and unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda, we were barely able to get control of the skiff.
New Living Translation
13When a light wind began blowing from the south, the sailors thought they could make it. So they pulled up anchor and sailed close to the shore of Crete.
14But the weather changed abruptly, and a wind of typhoon strength (called a 'northeaster') burst across the island and blew us out to sea.
15The sailors couldn’t turn the ship into the wind, so they gave up and let it run before the gale.
English Standard Version
13Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.
14But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land.
15And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the ship’s boat.
New International Version
13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
